Did you know, Google has a ton of resources available to help you stay organized? When you create a Google account, everything from your email to your blog to your documents can be stored in one place.

Click here to go to Google's email client, gmail. This project might be easier if you set up a separate email account.

To set up a gmail account
1. Go to www.gmail.com. On the right side about half way down, there is a button that says “Create new account”. Click on this.
2. You will be asked for your information and to create a username and password. Your username must be unique, so if you try to set up a name someone else is already using, it will give you some options. Either choose one of these, or get creative.
3. Write down your user name and password. Let me say this again. WRITE DOWN YOUR USERNAME AND PASSWORD. Do not come to Mrs. Schroeder and ask me for it. I DON’T KNOW!!!
4. At the bottom, you will be asked to type in an anti-spam word that no human being is able to actually read. If you need help deciphering this, ask your neighbor.
5. Once you have created and account, log in and check your email.

Google Notebook
This is a handy little application that allows you to take notes on the web
1. Go to Google Notebook.
2. Click on "Create a new notebook" in the top left corner.
3. To add a note, click anywhere in the text box on the right.
4. You can create a new section for each new thought or note.
5. Then you can print your notes!
